Annihilation
Jeff Vandermeer, 2014
Four women cross the border into a coastal wilderness where the maps are wrong, the wildlife is off by a hair, and nothing there is neutral.
Jeff Vandermeer
VanderMeer began Annihilation after a backpacking trip in Florida's St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge; it won the 2014 Nebula Award for Best Novel.
Feels like dread, nature and awe.
What it means when a ruined place starts to look beautiful.
The effect of this cannot be understood without being there. The beauty of it cannot be understood, either, and when you see beauty in desolation it changes something inside you. Desolation tries to colonize you. Books by Jeff Vandermeer
